A Song For Donny

                                  People speak your name

And think what a shame you're gone

Still they know

What you've left behind

Lives in our hearts and minds

Today and tomorrow



The clouds of darkness came your way

You've given us a brighter day

And your music will be

So very, very special to me



Sometimes wealth and fame

Whispered, "Play my game"

But you, yes, you refused to

Genius touched your soul

Fortune not your gold

God's gift is what changed you



A voice like silk would weave your spell

And words of life, oh, only you tell

And your music is gonna be

Very, very special to me



In life's fleeting glance

You have met the chance to give

All they can't

And though short you stayed

Before you went away with them

Now you stand



Listening to your sounds of joy

I think one shot, ghetto boy

And your music will always be

So very, very special to me



Said I love you, Donny

And you're gonna always be

Very, very, very special to me

Gonna miss one shot, little ghetto boy

This is a song for you



Said I love you, Donny, and I miss you, Donny

You're gonna always be a friend to me

Miss you, Donny

Yeah, I miss you, Donny
